Hi, I have begun running netatalk on a Caldera Linux box. Although I am no expert, I think things are set up correctly. I have a shared folder on Linux that my Mac can login to, read, and write with no problems. My question is, what is the proper way for me to write files into that shared folder >from the Unix side< . If I insert files into this area with "cp" , and then try to access them from the Mac, I get an unusual and amusing "rolling directory" effect on the Mac. Let's say I store a single file in the shared folder with cp. If I open a Finder window for the shared directory, the window will update every few seconds, oscillating between "0 files" and "1 file" found. If the folder contains only files stored from the Mac side, the Finder window is stable. My bet is that, in addition to the cp, I need to update some of those hidden administrative directories under the shared folder. I don't have any information on that procedure. I also noticed that, if I store a Unix symbolic link into the shared folder, it does not show up on the Mac side. It would be neat if I could do an "lndir" on Linux and have a whole unix tree accessable on the Mac, kind of a quick-and-dirty alternative to doing NFS on the Mac. Any advice on these issue will be much appreciated, via email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks! Rich Free web-based email, anytime, anywhere! ZDNet Mail - http://www.zdnetmail.com
